We analyze applications of biform games to linear production (LP) and sequencing processes. Biform games, as introduced by Brandenburger and Stuart (2007), apply to problems in which strategic decisions are followed by some cooperative game, where the specific environment of the cooperative game...

The concept of Berge equilibria is based on supportive behavior among the players: each player is supported by the group of all other players. In this paper, we extend this concept by maintaining the idea of supportive behavior among the players, but eliminating the underlying coordination...

This paper addresses interactive one-machine sequencing situations in which the costs of processing a job are given by an exponential function of its completion time. The main difference with the standard linear case is that the gain of switching two neighbors in a queue is time-dependent and...

This paper analyzes cooperative purchasing situations with two suppliers with limited supply capacity. In these capacity restricted cooperative purchasing (CRCP) situations we consider a group of cooperating purchasers for whom it turns out to be optimal as a group to or- der as much as possible...
